House of Z: A Documentary on Zac Posen

[ PHOTOGRAPHY: Images sourced from Google ]

House of Z was a very moving documentary. I wasn't aware of
how Zac Posen became to be a brand and seeing how it grew with the help of
Posen's family was very heart warming. It was also intriguing to see how easily
it is to be criticised within the fashion industry as a brand or influencer
after one small event and how it is hard to leave it in the past.

Being let into Posen's world felt very personal. I loved
delving into his college years and seeing all the people he was brought up with
and how he was surrounded by the upmost creative talent. You could really see his drapery talent at work in his
studio. I loved watching that technique of designing garments as he could
create dresses that wouldn't have been envisioned if the idea had gone straight
from paper to toile.

Overall, I found his passion for what he does as well as the
drive and risk everyone around him took to make the brand a success, very
inspiring.
